PlayIGL - N.A. 2v2 Clan Arena Ladder - Open!!

Hi all,

Welcome to the new dawn in amateur, semi-pro, and pro game play. We here at the IGL are committed to providing a fair and even playing field for all sorts of players from the casual once a week player right up the the Pro player who commits hours into his game play. Since Clan Arena is the most popular team game type at the moment, we are offering a unique experience that you have not seen out of any ladder.

How does this thing work?

Matches occur every hour, on the hour. As a captain you have the ability to register your team for a match up to 4 hours in advance. Once your team is registered, you may vote for the map of your choice. Map selections are randomly generated from a pool of available maps. Schedules are generated at the top of the hour, matches will take place on the map with the most votes. Each team will be paired against a team within their own skill range. Teams will not play each other twice in a row.

Match times are displayed in a user's local time zone.

How are points calculated?

All teams start at 100 points.
Winning a match will give you a minimum of 1 point.
Beating a team ranked higher than you will give you an additional bonus of 5% of the opponent’s value.
Beating a team ranked lower than you will give you an additional bonus of 2.5% of the opponent’s value.
Losing to a team ranked higher than you will remove 2.5% of your own value.
Losing to a team ranked lower than you will remove 5% of your own value.
A forfeit will remove 7% of your own value.
A Tie will give both teams Value = Value - Value * 0.05 + Opponent * 0.05
Streaks of 5 wins and over will give the winning team points equal to their current streak
The maximum gain a team will get for a single win is 10% of their own value.
